Suva prop forward Leeroy Atalifo and Nadroga fullback Isoa Donaldson are expected to make their debut tomorrow.

The pair has been named on the bench for Fiji with head coach John McKee making four changes to the starting lineup.

The only change in the forwards sees Nemani Nagusa returning at number eight.

In the backline, Chiefs winger Asaeli Tikoirotuma will be at centre and Napolioni Nalaga takes his place back on the wing while Metuisela Talebula will start at fullback.

McKee is looking forward to see how the scrum will turn out in tomorrow’s clash against Manu Samoa.

Flying Fijians captain Akapusi Qera said they are looking forward to a physical game.

The Flying Fijians will take on Samoa tomorrow at the ANZ Stadium at 3pm and you can catch the live commentary our sister station VITI FM.
